    Wentworth Miller was born in England, grew up in Brooklyn, new york and graduated from Princeton University. After obtaining a bachelor of arts degree from the university, he came to Los Angeles in the spring of 1995 and worked in the development department of a small TV production company. However, his childhood dream made him quickly move into the entertainment industry. Miller appeared in a film directed by robert benton, starring Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman. Miller went on to appear, making guest appearances in Joan of Arcadia and Ghost Whisperer. Then Miller began to shoot Prison Break, which became an instant hit and was nominated as the best performance award in the TV series of the Golden Globe Award in 2006.

    Miller, who became popular around the world because of the role of Prison Break, was exposed by the media as early as 2007, but Miller has never given it a positive recognition. As he believes, private life should maintain a certain degree of mystery. Miller thinks that his job is to try to entertain the audience within an hour. If the audience is entertained, his task is completed. As for private life, it’s nobody’s business.

The first case in China, this finless porpoise was rescued!

  Yangtze finless porpoise

  It is a national first-class protected animal.

  Because of its preciousness and scarcity

  Also known as the "giant panda in the water"

  

  During the Spring Festival, Nanjing finless porpoise rescue monitors monitored a finless porpoise with a tail injury. On February 16th, Nanjing Yangtze finless porpoise provincial nature reserve management station and other relevant departments successfully fished it ashore under the guidance of the Yangtze River Basin Fishery Supervision and Administration Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. At present, the finless porpoise is receiving treatment and care in Nanjing Underwater World, and the specific condition and causes need further diagnosis. It is reported that the injured finless porpoise was successfully rescued in the main stream of the Yangtze River, which is the first case in China.

The first case in China, this finless porpoise was rescued!

  Jiang Meng, secretary-general of the Nanjing finless porpoise aquatic biology protection association, said that they found a finless porpoise with a tail injury when they inspected the Yangtze River Smile Station near Jiangbian South Road in Gulou on the second day of the New Year. "At that time, this finless porpoise swam very close to the shore, about 20 meters, and it was clear that its tail skin was injured and infected." Jiang Meng said, so they began to track and locate the finless porpoise. "The finless porpoise has been swimming. We must lock its range of activities and master its laws before we can consider further rescue plans."

  The construction of ecological civilization is a fundamental plan for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made unprecedented efforts to build ecological civilization, and the consciousness and initiative of the whole party and the whole country to promote green development have been significantly enhanced, making great strides in the construction of beautiful China. This decade is a decade with the deepest understanding, the greatest strength, the most practical measures, the fastest progress and the most remarkable results in ecological civilization construction and ecological environment protection.

  On the 15th, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee held a series of press conferences on the theme of "Ten Years in China", focusing on the achievements of ecological civilization construction in the new era.

  All the phased objectives and tasks of the battle against pollution have been fully completed.

  "This is a night sky star orbit map with the background of the Forbidden City meridian gate." Huang Runqiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment, "exposed" a night view of Beijing at the press conference. "This picture is a true portrayal of the improvement of air quality in Beijing."

  In 2013, the concentration of PM2.5 in Beijing was 89.5 μ g/m3, and it decreased to 33 μ g/m3 in 2021, a decrease of nearly two-thirds.

  Huang Runqiu said that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the objectives and tasks of China’s tough battle against pollution have been fully accomplished, and the ecological environment has been significantly improved.

  Historical changes have taken place in air quality. Compared with 2015, in 2021, the average concentration of PM2.5 in prefecture-level cities and above decreased by 34.8%, and the proportion of excellent days reached 87.5%, an increase of 6.3 percentage points. China has become the country with the fastest improvement in air quality.

  The quality of water environment has undergone a turning point. In this decade, the proportion of surface water sections I to III increased by 23.3 percentage points to 84.9%, which is close to the level of developed countries. Black and odorous water bodies in cities at prefecture level and above have been basically eliminated, and the safety of drinking water has been effectively guaranteed.

  Fundamental changes have taken place in the quality of soil environment. China has promulgated the law on the prevention and control of soil pollution, carried out detailed investigation of soil pollution status of agricultural land and construction land, and implemented soil pollution risk control.

  The quality of the marine environment has improved significantly. In the past decade, the proportion of excellent water quality in coastal waters in China has increased by about 17.6 percentage points, reaching 81.3%. Beautiful bays with clean water, clean beaches, fish gulls and a harmonious sea of people are constantly emerging.

  "Although the quality of the ecological environment has improved greatly, it is still improved at the middle and low levels." Huang Runqiu said that during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, we should use higher standards to fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control.

  Improving the quality and stability of the ecosystem.

  Beautiful natural ecology is the basis of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. By 2021, the national forest coverage rate reached 24.02% and the forest stock reached 19.493 billion cubic meters, and the forest area and forest stock kept "double growth" continuously.

  Huang Runqiu said that in the past ten years, China’s ecological environment protection system has been systematically improved, and relevant laws and regulations have been formulated and revised, making the legal protection of ecological protection more powerful. China has established a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body, and formally established the first batch of five national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, effectively protecting 90% of terrestrial ecosystem types and 74% of national key protected wildlife populations.

  The supervision of ecological protection has been continuously strengthened. Central eco-environmental protection inspectors have effectively solved a number of outstanding eco-environmental damage problems. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, together with relevant departments, has organized and carried out intensive supervision of the "Green Shield" nature reserve for five consecutive years, and promoted the rectification of more than 5,000 problems in national nature reserves.

  The ecological security barrier was effectively consolidated. China has implemented major biodiversity conservation projects and endangered species rescue projects, designated 35 priority areas for biodiversity conservation, and 112 rare and endangered wild animals and plants have returned to the wild.

  In addition, China is deeply involved in global biodiversity governance, and the implementation of biodiversity protection targets is better than the global average.

  Reverse the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions

  Huang Runqiu introduced that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has placed climate change in a more prominent position in national governance, implemented a national strategy to actively respond to climate change, continuously increased the reduction of carbon emission intensity, and continuously strengthened the independent contribution target (NDC), which has promoted economic and social development to the track of comprehensive green transformation and achieved remarkable results.

  In the past ten years, China’s carbon emission intensity has decreased by 34.4%, reversing the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions, and green has increasingly become the bright background of high-quality economic and social development.

  China has steadily promoted the adjustment of energy structure. In the past ten years, the proportion of coal consumption in primary energy consumption has decreased from 68.5% to 56% in 2021, and the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption has increased by 6.9 percentage points to 16.6%. The installed capacity of renewable energy power generation increased by 2.1 times.

  At the same time, the industrial structure has been continuously optimized and upgraded. China vigorously develops green and low-carbon industries, continuously strictly controls the blind expansion of projects with high energy consumption and high emissions, eliminates backward production capacity according to laws and regulations, and accelerates the resolution of excess production capacity. In the past ten years, China has supported an average annual economic growth of 6.5% with an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3%, and the energy consumption intensity has decreased by 26.2%.

  China has continuously improved its carbon sink capacity and its ability to adapt to climate change. In the past ten years, China has become the main force of global greening, and forest carbon sinks have increased by 7.3%. The ability to resist climate risks in key areas such as agriculture and infrastructure has been continuously enhanced. In addition, China has also promoted the construction of a national carbon market and made China contributions to global climate governance.

  On December 5th, the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm in Hebei won the Earth Guardian Award, the highest environmental protection award of the United Nations. Among all six awards of the Earth Guardian Award, institutions and individuals from China won three awards. At the United Nations venue in Nairobi, when China’s achievements in environmental protection were mentioned again and again, there were warm applause and cheers. This is a high affirmation of China’s green development concept, China’s ecological civilization construction and Saihanba spirit by the United Nations and the world. Experts and scholars from all over the world have said: "China has demonstrated global leadership in the field of environmental protection."

  It takes a long time to work. Like the builders of Saihanba Forest Farm, China is making unremitting efforts to make the great motherland more beautiful, and China has become an important participant, contributor and leader in the global ecological civilization construction. China has contributed wisdom and solutions to the global ecological civilization construction, and "Beautiful China" has won more warm applause from the world.

  "Saihanba forest farm builders get ‘ Guardian of the Earth Award ’ It is an important symbol that China is leading the way of global environmental protection. "

  "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". In the past 55 years, the builders of Saihanba Forest Farm in Hebei Province have worked hard and been willing to contribute in the desert sand of "yellow sand covers the sky and birds have no trees", which has created a miracle that the wasteland has turned into a forest, and cast the spirit of Saihanba with a mission in mind, hard work and green development. These builders interpreted Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s ideas with practical actions.

  Eric solheim, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Director of UNEP, told reporters that the story of the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm inspired everyone. After three generations of unremitting efforts to plant trees, a vast and lush forest has been built. "They brought the forest back in a quick and effective way." Solheim said excitedly, "This is an incredible achievement that inspires people in other parts of the world. I will go to Saihanba Forest Farm to meet the builders and listen to their stories. "

  Solheim believes that the story of the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm proves that the degraded environment can be repaired. "This is a valuable investment, and the practice rooted in the grassroots often has a far-reaching impact on global environmental protection." He said that at present, afforestation is being carried out in many parts of the world, and the deeds of the builders of Saihanba Forest Farm will promote this process. "China won this year ‘ Guardian of the Earth Award ’ This proves that China’s environmental protection policy has made great achievements. These extraordinary achievements confirm the effectiveness of the concept of ecological civilization construction put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader. " Solheim said that the world has begun to realize the ongoing environmental protection work in China and the concept of "beautiful China". In the field of environmental protection, a big country like China has provided much-needed leadership for the world.

  Marcelo Furtado, a Brazilian environmental expert, told reporters that the story of the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm inspired us and showed the significance of afforestation to the earth and mankind. He said that the afforestation in China was very successful, which effectively reduced environmental problems such as sandstorms and improved people’s happiness index. "This has also provided the world with very important experience, and we sincerely admire the Chinese builders." Furtado said that China plays a key role in the global environmental protection field, and China’s environmental protection policy and sustainable development concept provide direction and leadership for the global environmental protection and sustainable development.

  Furtado believes that the BRICS countries and developing countries, including Brazil, hope to work together with China to build ecological civilization, find ways of sustainable development and solve development problems such as poverty, education and unemployment. "I think China’s leadership in sustainable development is extremely critical."

  Naisan Saba, a spokesman for the United Nations Environment Programme, told reporters that China takes environmental protection issues very seriously from all levels, including government, research institutions, enterprises and individuals, and attaches increasing importance to air pollution control and sustainable development. China is good at learning from the environmental protection experience of other countries, and at the same time, it has created many leading environmental protection innovations. For example, China has shown great determination in air pollution control. At the same time, China has made unparalleled achievements in desertification control and forest planting. "The government of China has made a commitment to environmental protection and made great progress. The world is looking forward to hearing China’s environmental protection story and learning from China’s environmental protection experience".

  Thierry de Oliveira, an environmental expert in Senegal, told reporters that the forest area in Africa is decreasing, and many countries are very concerned about this issue. Saihanba Forest Farm can bring practical and valuable experience to African people. It is an important symbol that the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm won the "Guardian of the Earth Award". China is leading the global environmental protection direction, and many green technologies have emerged in China, providing solutions to organically combine environmental protection with economic development. "The world’s understanding of environmental protection in China has just begun. In the future, people need to listen to more China stories and experiences. China has put forward far-sighted policy guidelines in the field of environmental protection."

  "The spirit and practice of Saihanba can be used for reference and copied internationally, and it is a great contribution to the construction of human ecological civilization."

  Three generations of Saihanba forest farm builders insisted on afforestation with indomitable fighting spirit and never give up, and built a million mu of artificial forest. After generations of efforts, we finally got a beautiful environment with bluer sky, greener mountains and clearer water.

  Chen Yanxian, a 73-year-old retired employee of Saihanba Forest Farm, is one of the first builders of the forest farm and one of the three representatives of the forest farm who came to Nairobi to receive the award. She said, "I come to receive the prize on behalf of three generations of Saihanba people, and the excitement can’t be described in words. In today’s China, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets is a household name, which makes clear the relationship between man and nature in a popular and profound way, and the story of Saihanba confirms such a green truth. There are also many green mile like Saihanba, which is making the ancient China more vibrant. " She said, "This will inspire us to create a new green mile, and it will also inspire more Chinese people to take action and strive to be guardians of the earth and environmental heroes. Our common home will be more harmonious and beautiful in this kind of encouragement and action."

  Zhang Shutong, chief engineer of the Forestry Department of Hebei Province, told reporters that Hebei, which is surrounded by Beijing and Tianjin, is an ecological support area for the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. It is a great responsibility and arduous task to do a good job in forestry ecological construction. We will take the opportunity of the "Guardian of the Earth Award" awarded by the United Nations Environment Programme to the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm, vigorously carry forward the spirit of Saihanba, roll up our sleeves and work hard, further clarify the goal of afforestation and greening of 4.2 million mu per year, and rely on the national key forestry projects and the precise forest quality improvement project to focus on the greening of Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain, the greening of the original ecological transition zone between Beijing and Tianjin, the Olympic greening and the urban forest construction in xiong’an new area, so as to achieve a forest coverage rate of 35% in the whole province by 2020.

  Bian Jianguo, deputy inspector of the Propaganda Department of Hebei Provincial Party Committee, said that the builder of Saihanba Forest Farm won the "Guardian of the Earth Award" of the United Nations, which showed the world the achievements and experience of China in promoting ecological civilization construction, provided China wisdom and China’s plan for global sustainable development, and was widely recognized by the international community, which indicated that the spirit and practice of Saihanba were also of referential and replicable significance internationally, and it was a great contribution to the construction of human ecological civilization, and also showed that the United Nations fully affirmed the theory and practice of promoting ecological civilization construction in China. Saihanba Forest Farm is not only a successful example of ecological civilization construction in China, but also a "China model" for global environmental governance.

  "We will take this award as a higher starting point, further explore the era significance and practical value of the spirit of Saihanba, carry forward the spirit of Saihanba with a mission in mind, hard work and green development, and promote the experience of Saihanba; Further tell the story of Saihanba, Hebei and China to the world and improve China’s influence; Further publicize new development concepts and work results, advocate green production and lifestyle, accelerate the construction of ecological civilization, and strive to build beautiful Hebei and beautiful China. " Bian Jianguo said.

  Saba believes that China’s grand aspiration in the construction of ecological civilization is a solemn commitment. "The construction of ecological civilization is reflected in government decision-making, law-making and environmental protection practice. The successful practice of China is an excellent example for the world." He said that when people deeply explore the idea behind the construction of ecological civilization, they can find that it is a systematic idea and make deep thinking on the transformation of human social and economic development mode, which will make us move towards a more sustainable future. This future will not only make mankind better, but also make the earth better.
